The family of murdered school teacher Ashling Murphy have been told at her funeral mass that they have been “robbed of your most precious gift” after a “depraved act of violence.”
Hundreds of mourners gathered at Church St Brigid, Mountbolus, Co Offaly, on Tuesday to pay their respects to the 23-year old who was fatally attacked while out jogging last week.
Crowds gathered outside the church from 9am including first class pupils that Ashling taught in Durrow National School.
